Who cares about voter registration rights?

Apparently not conservatives.

KELLY: He said they [the department] has a special responsibility in addressing racial ills. That -- that strikes fear down the spines of many conservatives in this country, because they don't want the Justice Department taking us back to the day when they get heavily involved in things like affirmative action, and things like voter registration rights.

If any conservative wonders why the GOP has such trouble connecting with and winning the votes of minorities they only need to look at dumb ass comments like the above. I remember when John McCain was supposed to do super awesome with the Latino vote because he supported the immigration bill that came through the pipes before the primary took off. Of course in order to win the primary McCain had to say on multiple occasions that he would no longer support such a bill. The media seemed to forget all about that, but I doubt the Latino population did. God and Guns isn't going to win minority votes for the GOP, they are actually going to have to do some work for them. Oh and it probably will have to be something more than just tax cuts.
